At first it didn’t really start. With Eugen Egner, we first have to “wait for the story” in a very entertaining way.
Then we congratulate Hanns-Josef Ortheil on his 70th birthday and discuss his “new account of rebirth.” Title: “Umbra”.
In honor of her 100th birthday: Elsie Ischinger reading from her novel The Greatest Hope. Listen to a recording from 1952.
First in German: Stefan Heim’s English novel “Flammender Frieden”, written in 1944 when Hem was in the US Army.
The Russian Vasily Grossman in his epic “Stalingrad” recounts the life of the city before the German attack in the summer of 1942. The next volume is called “Leben und Schicksal” and it is already available.
“World literature. Why do we need a new understanding of literature” – this is explained by the Orientalist and literary critic Gerrit Westman in the conclusion. It gives Persian reading tips.
